Well at least one cop understands how we feel about his profession, but he blames us, not those of his other 900,000+ compatriots who've given us just cause to despise the profession and those that would abuse their positions in it.

By Lt Daniel Furseth, DeForest, Wisconsin Police Department

"Today, I stopped caring about my fellow man. I stopped caring about my community, my neighbors, and those I serve. I stopped caring today because a once noble profession has become despised, hated, distrusted, and mostly unwanted."

    But they are the ultimate development of any society that has police that ever are allowed to do more than to protect all rights and have the identical responsibilities as the rest of us.

    It is time for him to get out of the profession. He is a danger to be very one with this attitude.

    How about taking personal responsibility? The only real purpose of the police is cleaning up the mess after it happens. Sure having a department can be a detergent but will never stop most crime. One must be in a position to protect themselves.

    H2, the facts are this. Violent crime is a dramatic freefall. Police killing civilians is at a decade high and going up. Police deaths are low. People don't trust police because they use force to to get respect when they do not need to. Roadside body cavity searches, forced highway "checks" illegal searches, seizures where property is never returned. In fact, civil forfeitures are included in budgets as are traffic tickets. Today's police are not the police of my childhood.

    "A once noble profession has become despised, hated, distrusted and mostly un-
    wanted" sounds like a "fact" to me, although
    a pretty sad one. Who would you call or look
    for should you be in danger? Your Mother?
    Your neighbor?
